ChatGPT Integration with InsideSpin
As a validation of AI-augmented article writing, InsideSpin has integrated ChatGPT to help flesh out unfinished articles at the moment they are requested. If you have been a past InsideSpin user, you may have noticed not all articles are fully fleshed out. While every article has a summary, only about half are fleshed out. Decisions about what to finish has been based on user interest over the years. With this POC, ChatGPT will use the InsideSpin article summary as the basis of the prompt, and return an expanded article adding insight from its underlying model. The instances are being stored for later analysis to choose one that best represents the intent of InsideSpin which the author can work with to finalize. This is a trial of an AI-augmented approach.

AI for Product Teams
Over the last 30 years or so, the number of coders has grown dramatically to accommodate professional needs. Starting below a million in the US in the early 90’s, it is estimated there are well over 30 million professional software engineers as we head into 2025. That count does not include the millions and millions of web development tool users managing their own needs, with little formal coding training, relying on tools such as WordPress, HubSpot, Spotify, GoDaddy, and AWS to generate the templated code that is needed.
The Rise of AI in Coding
For anyone who has used AI coding tools like CoPilot from GitHub, it is easy to see that AI tools thrive at generating code. They are largely semantic language engines, after all. Given most coding languages are meant to be semantically unambiguous for a computer to execute the code properly, the sophistication AI embodies to understand and generate ambiguous spoken languages like English is largely left unneeded. Code-generating tools still suffer from garbage-in/garbage-out risks (as do AI chat tools like ChatGPT). This is where AI-augmented skills for human operators (you and me) become critical to get the value you want to realize, and possibly, to preserve jobs.
The Role of Product Managers
For Product Managers, the essence of the Product role is the synthesis of streams of requirements (input) to create the output an Engineering team can use to economically build, and a business can take to market to generate revenue. The more unambiguous and consistent the output a Product team can produce, the more likely coders and sales teams will be able to meet the needs identified. While there is a general risk of homogenization of thought and approach as we become dependent on AI (as there was with spreadsheets in Finance long ago), the benefit for Product is alignment, consistency, and completeness of analysis from the generated artifacts produced over time.
Benefits of AI for Product Teams
- Enhanced collaboration between Product and Engineering teams.
- Improved accuracy in requirement gathering and analysis.
- Streamlined processes leading to faster time-to-market.
- Greater alignment on project goals and deliverables.
Transforming Jobs with AI
Coders and Product Managers are two of the areas most ripe to be transformed through comprehensive adoption of AI. Jobs will change, and it's vital to explore how to migrate talents to where AI drives them. The integration of AI into workflows can create opportunities for professionals to focus on higher-level strategic thinking rather than routine tasks.
Skills for the Future
- Adaptability to new tools and technologies.
- Emphasis on critical thinking and problem-solving.
- Strong communication skills for cross-functional collaboration.
- Understanding of AI capabilities and limitations.
Conclusion
The future of product teams in the technology sector is undoubtedly intertwined with the advancements in AI. Embracing these changes will not only enhance operational efficiencies but also empower professionals to harness their skills in innovative ways. As the landscape continues to evolve, staying informed and adaptable will be key to thriving in this new era.
By recognizing the potential of AI as a collaborative tool rather than a replacement, Product Managers and Coders can work in tandem to create exceptional products that meet the demands of a rapidly changing market.
